As my friends and I rounded the connecting middle school track, I couldn’t stand it any more. I had to ask“Where are those words from?”I wasn’t sure if it was Scripture or a Christmas song. All three of us simultaneously did that thing you do when you’re not sure the order ...
I mean like he didn’t cry at the birth of either child granted he did claim to have gotten some dust in his eyes while giving his father of the bride toast at Meagan‘s wedding. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons God put us together – one of us needs to stay even keeled and n...
